Bug-Proof Your Code: How to Break Up with Bugs Before They Break You

In the battle against buggy code, error handling is your weapon of choice. This talk will arm you with the knowledge and skills to:

- Identify and handle different types of exceptions.
- Create custom exceptions for specific errors.
- Implement error-prevention strategies.
- Log and report errors effectively.
- Debug and troubleshoot errors with confidence.

In addition, we will also discuss the importance of a mindset shift in error handling. Instead of viewing errors as failures, we encourage you to view them as learning opportunities.

Whether you're a seasoned backend developer or just starting out, this talk will help you write more robust and reliable Java code.

Java in the Green Cloud: Eco-Friendly Development with Kubernetes

The tech industry is quietly burning 3.7% of global carbon emissions—enough to rival the aviation industry!

Surprised? So are we, and guess what? Our code is part of the problem. While optimizing for speed and scalability, we often forget that wasteful apps consume energy like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

In this session, we’ll show you how to build greener Java applications in Kubernetes without sacrificing performance. Get ready to:

Tame your resource usage with Kubernetes tools like resource limits and autoscaling.
Write smarter Java code that sips energy instead of chugging it.
Spot hidden inefficiencies and optimize for a smaller carbon footprint.

Expect practical tips, fun analogies, and live examples that make sustainable development less “doom and gloom” and more “cool and efficient.”

I will help you prove that clean code can also be green code. The planet (and your cloud bill) will thank you!

your ultimate guide to IT event planning

I will share the essentials of my four years of event organization experience with you.

Who runs the world ? JAVA!!!!

Forget the rumors; Java's throne remains unclaimed.
Join this 16min talk to unmask the myths and reignite your Java passion.

Java Error Handling 101: Transforming Failures into Reliable Success

By embracing the inevitability of failure and focusing on learning and improvement instead of blame, developers can create more effective error-handling strategies that improve the reliability and performance of their applications.

This talk will cover an introduction to exceptions, a deep dive into proactive error handling strategies, logging and error reporting, debugging, and troubleshooting techniques, as well as relevant best practices, patterns, and tools for error handling.

This talk is dedicated to all Java developers, from beginners, where they'll find a simple introduction to the error handling mechanism, to experts, where we'll delve into more advanced strategies, while suggesting some open source full-featured applications to use.
